In his memorandum the commis- | sioner say The attorney for Mrs. Plante makes claim in behalf of her as a dependent and also in bebalf of the child. There is no process of reasoning whereby the widow in this case can be con- sidered dr looked upon in the light of a dependent, as there is no evidence to show that either = received supgon from her husband or lived with him @t the time of his death and accord- ing to Section 10 of Part B of the Act as amended, a wife if only a depend- ent upon a husband with whom she lives at the ‘-ln;. of his injury or whom she receivedq support reg- But, under this same section, syb division (c) “any ckild lnder the lfie of eighteen years . . ... is dependent upon the parent with whom he is living or from whom he is re- celving support regularly at the time of the injury of such parent, there being no surviving dependent parent” and in the present instance the widow is not a dependent parent. The claim is made by the attorney for the respondents that neither the widow nor the child are dependents, according to his idea of the statute, on the ground that neither the widow nor the child received support regu- larly at the time of the jnjury in question; I agree with his view npon the standing of the widow as to the question of dependency and I have found that she is not a depandent, but I do consider and find that the child is a dependent. The respondents’ at- torney objects to the claim of the child as a dependent on the ground that the contributions had not been received regularly at thé time of the injury of the parent. I would not consider that as a final test on the question of dependency as in the present instance the evidence shows that the contributions had been made in the interest of the child up to with- in some six months previous to the death of the parent and it was also shown that the decedent intended to get a_sum of money a short while be- fore his fatal accident oceurred and pay to the wife what he owed for the support of the child and straighten the account up to date. If at any time the decedent had refused to live up to the agreement made with the widow. the obligation which he had thus in- Te- curred was a debt collectable by gal procedure in case he had means and in case he had none, she had oth er redress which could be used to en- foree the colléction of the amount which he had obligated himself to pay.

Tt broke adrift from its moorings recently and floated ashore on the beach. Then it was discovered that the logs of which it is mainly composed are almost com- pletely eaten away by some kind of salt water worms and the wonder is that the float has held together so long. Tt has been doing duty now about 20 vears. The boards covering the surface will be removed and the balance disposed of as firewood. Next vear the park commissioners will have to provide a new float.

Services at Taftville Congregational Church. At the Taftville Consregational church Sunday morning Rev. Arthur Varley delivered a forceful sermon under the subject of Building With- out God. He emphasized the fact that man cannot build things material or spiritual without the spirit of God in his heart. But if a man builds his life without God ™ his heart he is like the man that buildeth his house upon the sands. The “ evening topic was Religious Work in India and was illustrated by stereopticon views of the country and the missions established there by the American missionaries to that part of_the world. Next Sunday will be the fiftieth an- niversary of the Sunday school and the morning subject will take in iste history of the school and it's progress up to the present time.
